Lake Anza, San Francisco Overview
Named after the Spanish explorer Juan Bautista de Anza, Lake Anza is a man-made reservoir in Tilden Regional Park of Berkeley Hills, California. Constructed in 1938, the lake stretches over a surface area of ten acres with its primary outflows as Wildcat Creek. The freshwater lake along with the sandy beach is a retreat in nature making it an excellent spot for picnicking, water recreational activities and hiking up through the Lake Anza Trail.
Swimming is restricted to a certain area along the beach and is open from May to September with lifeguards on duty. The dog-friendly lake area is also equipped with spacious parking lots, bathhouses, changing rooms, cold water showers and food stands with ice cream, hot dogs, and snacks.
